Likewise, while reading the works of writers in prose, students have been asked to understand the basic idea of each chapter and practise writing the summary, purpose and language style in their own words.

The application form and letter should also be written in the correct format and one can write main points in a box.
High School students of social science have been asked to use a flowchart as per the nature and requirement of the question while writing answers to short and detailed questions. In the descriptive part, they have been asked to make sure to use labeled pictures, diagrams and figures as far as possible while writing the answer as “This will make answers more effective”.
Similarly, Intermediate students for Hindi have been advised to memorise the meaning of difficult words in Sanskrit section and practise. “You can use a flowchart while writing about the life and literary introduction of the author or poet. To write an essay, the subject should be divided into major points like introduction, subject expansion and epilogue etc,” the advice goes.
For Chemistry, Class 12 students have been asked to prepare easy chapters first and difficult ones later. They have been urged to memorise the main topics related to the chapter by making a flowchart and as quantitative questions are asked from the chapters on physical chemistry, they should make a list related to such chapters. Try to understand the equations written in the chapters on organic and inorganic chemistry, the advice reads.
